Welcome
to my metal pages. All of this stuff is under construction right now, but
I hope to add links and projects as things progress.

This
all started out as a CNC conversion for my milling
machine to help with construction model Internal Combustion engines, but some casting facilities have to come first to make all the
brackets and other stuff I need.

Enter
the mini foundry - starting off with a Gingery
style charcoal furnace, things have now progressed through to propane with a second
burner recently being completed. This little rig is now capable of melting cast iron, click here
for more details and a video.

Some
pages have been dedicated to the Asian Mini Mill
which is 80% decent out of the box. Longer term plans include metal gears,
and a screw conversion for the Z axis.

The project
pages detail some of the things I'm making up, a gear
hobbing machine has hit the skids because it's just too flimsy -
thinking about how to work round this.
A Versatile
Dividing Head designed by George H. Thomas, and supplied as a kit of castings
and materials by Hemingway is one of the latest completions.
